[2021] Stellaris - Planetary Carrying Capacity bug - queuing multiple districts absolutely destroys capacity.

This is working as designed. Detective_Drone checked with Eldarin, and while it would be better if it did not work as it did right now, and we have listed an improvement to see about changing it in the future. It's not a bug and is prioritised as such.

Also, While part of our outsourced contingent. Our QLOCs here are part of our embedded testing team and have been for a couple of years in some cases. They work with us daily playtesting, providing feedback etc. Helping out on the forums is something new for them actually. So lets be chill.  

HFY said: But if districts under construction count for less than either built or unbuilt districts, that means you're adding a penalty to pre-building in a release which was supposed to allow us to pre-build and let the AI take over.

That seems to go against your stated design goals.

I get that, but to change it would not be fixing a bug, it would be changing how building capacity and the like are calculated, which is a different kettle of fish all together.

As Designed does not mean "This does not need improvement, to be addressed etc" it can mean, like here, that as far as the game systems are concerned, things are working as intended and changing it is out of the scope of a bug fix. Hopefully that makes sense.

and as noted above We have entered something into our JIRA to review this.
